[HTC Rezound] dredmentia:
Made critical error while installing this ROM...

Hello All,

I am by no means new to rooting/flashing, especially with HTC phones. I have been modding my HTC One S since the day I got it, I must have flashed a new rom on it about 30 different times. Have rooted a few Samsung phones as well.

My girlfriend was having problems with her HTC Rezound being sluggish and all around just not working well, so I suggested rooting it and putting CM on it to remove all the bloatware and all the other stuff that has probably accumulated on her phone since she has had it for about 18 months ago. The whole rooting/flashing process was going exactly as I remember it going for any HTC phone, flashed the rom, flashed the GAPPs, wiped the cache, but then I made the CRITICAL mistake of installing the GSM PATCH!. I did this because I was following the instructions listed for installing it on an S-On phone, which hers is, forgetting that her Rezound is on VERIZON. This is my first time doing any type of modding/rooting with a verizon phone. So anyway, I flashed the GSM patch by accident. Then went into fastboot, flashed the boot.img, and the phone booted up like a few CM flash always does, where you do the intial set up and enter your google account info. It connected to the wifi fine, and started installing some of her apps, all of the data worked. But then we tried to make a phone call, and it said something along the lines of "Please wait while we direct you to a verizon representative" or something along that nature. Basically, the phone is stuck on roaming. I tried changing the settigns around in that secret HTC menu , and put the LTE ON/OFF app on her phone which just brings you to that secret menu and tried to put it on CDMA only, nothing worked. She would occasionally be able to recieve text messages, but she was never able to make or recieve a phone call, and I think we only got it to send a text message out once or twice. We brought it to the verizon store hoping if they looked at the secret menu they would know what settings to put in so that it would connect to Verizons towers, but once they saw the device was tampered with they wouldn't help us....

This lead to a 24 hour period of me trying everything I could to get the phone working. I tried flashing different roms like Cleanrom and DeSensed ROMs for the HTC rezound, all had the same problem, everything worked fine except for making or recieving phone calls, it always lead to that "Please wait while we connect you to verizon etc....." I tried running RUU through the computer to return to stock (And yes I relocked the device before I tried doing this) , and that didn't work, gave me the 155 error. So then I tried doing it where you put the file right on the SD card and flash it in the boot loader....it starts out looking like its going to work, but then it says the Hboot is newer or older, I forgot which, but it failed. \

Just as a test, I put a Tmobile sim card in her phone, and then it made phone calls no problem. So I'm guessing it is stuck on GSM and cannot connect to any type of Verizon network. Is there any possible way to fix this and make it as if I never flashed that GSM Patch? Unfortunately, my device is S-On, and all the FAQs for turning it to S-Off involved using a paper clip or wire trick as well as some program, but all of the links/videos for that method are broken....I feel like im going nuts that this phone won't work properly because Ive successfully rooted so many HTC phones. I feel that this is far from a "brick" seeing as how the phone boots up properly no matter which rom I put on it, it just has the same problem on every rom ever since I did that GSM patch. If anyone has any advice that could fix this problem, please let me know.
